"It was in 1856 that Mr. (James M.) Able was joined in wedlock to Miss (Susan) Elmina Hodges, who was born in South Carolina, January 9, 1837, and who has proven to him a devoted helpmate and companion in life's journey. Her parents were Thompson and Mahala (Hill) Hodges, both of whom were natives of South Carolina*, where they were married, removing thence to Alabama."
